The government of Saskatchewan is implementing further measures to combat the COVID-19 virus in the province.
The following order has been made by the chief medical officer: visitors to long-term care homes, hospitals, personal care homes and group homes are restricted to essential visitors only. Essential visitors are immediate family visiting for compassionate reasons.
Faith-based organizations are no longer exempt to public gathering restrictions ordering that no public gathering of more than 250 people in any one room take place.
There have been updated travel guidelines. The federal government and Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer recommended any residents currently travelling internationally should return to Canada while commercial options are available. The federal government and the chief medical officer also recommend avoiding all non-essential international travel until further notice.
All travellers returning from international destinations including the United States need to self-isolate and monitor their health for 14 days upon their return. Travellers returning within Canada are also advised to self-monitor for 14 days.
SaskGaming will be suspending operations and temporarily close Casinos Regina and Moose Jaw until further notice on the advice of public health officials on the COVID-19 outbreak.
